Java is too embedded in massive applications to go away, it'll be the COBOL of 2080s.
But what I'm more interested in is that do companies with no prior Java baggage start greenfield Java projects in 2026? If 90% of your stack is Java and you start a new project, of course you pick it.
But would you do it just based on technical merits?
- skydhash 3mo agoI would and I’m someone who like C and Common Lisp. The Java ecosystem is full of good solutions, especially for building a web platform. I rather use something reliable than something lean or cool.
- a34729t 3mo agoI hate Java and would still choose it for all sorts of distributed systems work. It has fantastic tooling and is robust, performant and well understood.
